The president of the Historical Society, Ken Nynas, said while most of the city's history has gone digital, it is nice to know that an original pieces of history can now be preserved.

"Our buildings that we have up there are primarily old. Log buildings, old schools, and old gristmills and stuff, and primarily wood construction stuff. This gives us something to put the...you know what I mean?...somewhere safe, and can be preserved for future generations,' Ken Nynas, president of historical society.

Beacon Bank's former location will be demolished to make way for Maurice's new Corporate Offices.
